Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Years later, we went into the 5th Avenue entrance and in one of the mausoleums, there was a coffin opened by vandals. We got scared and ran out of there.

YEP...GOOD ONE TOO

PATSY...YOU WILD VIXEN

I was an adult at the time and can't believe I got so scared that we left in a hurry.

JOEBROXX00, WEREN'T YOU W/US ON 7TH AVE, WHEN WE USED TO WALK THRU GREENWOOD AT NIGHT? I'M SURE YOU HAD TO BE WITH THE FEW OF US WHO HAD THE BALLS TO DO IT??
